    Whirlpools in the Data (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    This began as a routine Sensorium check. I had moved one of the sensors onto the windowsill overnight and wanted to see how the change affected its light and sound readings. We found a strange recurring dip in the dawn lux data, identified the probable signature of a boiling kettle in the sound trace, and began joking about smarter ways of deciding what a system should remember. Somewhere along the way, the conversation slipped its technical boundaries. A rolling data buffer became a model of hu

    Sensorium continuously collects timestamped environmental data from sen1, an Android phone acting as a sensor node. For this experiment we use the phone’s light sensor and microphone-derived sound level, storing lux and aggregate dBFS values rather than images, audio or speech. Known events can be manually tagged, creating a timestamp that can later be aligned with the sensor stream. The AI then compares the marked events against the surrounding time-series data, looking for recurring features s

An old Android phone, sen1, has become our first mobile sensory node. It can currently report light, sound level, movement, orientation, proximity, touch and a handful of other signals to sen0, a Mac mini acting a
